eternal riches
In 2Cor.6:10 Paul says,"having nothing yet possessing everything." Solomon had everything but saw that it amounted to nothing. People everywhere long for fame, fortune and power. They want the easy life and envy the celebrity. Solomon had more of everything then anyone ever had and he found that it did not satisfy. Paul on the other hand found the secret. He poured out his life for God's work into the lives of others and accomplished something eternal. Solomon said that there is nothing new under the sun but he forgot about people; created in God's image and no two alike. God's heart is focused on people not stuff. The only thing I can take to heaven with me from this life is the people I have touched for God. Those are riches that last forever!
